He won defensive player of the year and has been a defensive stalwart ever since he came into this league. JV gets pushed around SO easily by rejects like Cousins and Patterson. I just don't think it's a fair comparison.

You think Chandler didn't get pushed around? If you think Jonas is a twig, then what the hell do you think Chandler was as a rookie?

You're seeing a rookie learning the physical toll of playing in this league. He'll have ups and downs all season.

How are Cousins and Patterson rejects?

You seem to want to find an even darker cloud than already exists for Raptor fans. What's the point in that?
